Four Christmas movies to know me by:
![Purely text image, reading: After 2008, [neoliberalism’s] accumulated social and political consequences started to come home to roost. Social consequences: a steep and in some cases (the United States and United Kingdom above all) staggering escalation of inequality; long-term wage stagnation; a spreading precariat. Political consequences: wholesale corruption, growing interchangeability of parties, erosion of meaningful electoral choice, declining voter participation – in short, the increasing eclipse of the popular will by a hardening oligarchy.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lskbhvqr72afmlm35bj2h5s5/bafkreiftr5qalroyjzpa75k2s7iee3ymb4xs7rp4tws4ugpp3zjjgdap7y@jpeg)

We didn’t do turkey so we don’t have leftover meat for the leftover Brussels sprouts (and pumpkin pie), so I’m doing a simple chicken cacciatore.

One of my holiday traditions is pizza, booze, telly with Fred Astaire, who is always festive - on Thanksgiving preceded by a long walk in nature.
Holiday Inn is particularly good, as it has all the holidays - and features the first recording of "White Christmas" to start getting you in the mood.
